It feels like it's always been at home
This is tea Pitcher Chakai, an arbor with pure whiteness and luster. 
Chakai is a Chinese tea utensil, and the ``sea'' in ``tea'' is a very romantic name. The strength of tea, which inevitably varies depending on the timing of pouring, can be equalized by pouring it into a sea of tea. It is also useful as a ``cooler'' to adjust the temperature of freshly boiled water before pouring it into the teapot.
Easily join the family
It also functions as a pitcher, so you can just pour water or coffee into it. Free to use! It is also convenient and useful when mixing soups and sauces. 
The tip of the Chakai is made thinner than the other parts, and the glaze is also carefully made to be thinner, so it drains easily and is less likely to drip. The capacity can hold about 3 to 4 cups of tea or 2 to 3 cups of coffee. To make your tea time even more enjoyable, we also have a teapot and a teapot in the arbor. Of course, you can drink tea without Chakai, but it is a must-have item to brew delicious tea.

What you need to know before purchasing
-The charm of handmade items lies in the fact that no two items are exactly alike, with pinholes, penetrations, distortions, and the like, and that the colors, size, and shape of each piece vary slightly from one to another.
-The coloring, size, and shape of each piece is slightly different, and the charm of handmade items lies in the fact that they are not exactly the same.
-The finish is relatively uniform, but because it is handmade, there are individual differences in shape, size, color, and so on. Uneven color/uneven firing Because the glaze is applied by hand, the glaze may not be applied evenly. The firing process is also uneven because the temperature varies depending on the firing location in the kiln.
